With ice bars, Nordic hotels and restaurants serving foraged food from the mountains, the capital’s main street is a snapshot of Iceland in microcosm.
While Iceland’s capital is tiny by most European standards, Reykjavik has always punched way above its weight when it comes to cool cultural cachet. Distilling its best bits into a buzzy 2km (1.2mi) stretch is Laugavegur, one of the oldest streets in the city and the main shopping artery in the Icelandic capital. Here, you’ll find everything from ice bars and cosy cafes to concept stores and vintage threads, together with some great places to stay once you’ve explored them all.
